Burger King Japan Launches Pizza-Sized Burger

Clearly obesity isn't top-of-mind at fast-food joints in Japan. Earlier this year, Burger King launched the Meat Monster, which topped a regular Whopper with an additional beef patty, a chicken breast, three slices of bacon, and two slices of cheese. That was followed by McDonald's Japan's KBQ Burger — a standard McD's burger topped with a dose of Korean barbecued beef. Next month, BK Japan will introduce the colossal Pizza-Sized Burger.

As reported by Eater, the Godzilla-sized patty will measure 22 cm (that's roughly the size of a 9-inch pan pizza). You can order it with either "fresh avocado" or "cheese nacho." The specialty hamburger will also sell as a "party set" — which comes with fries, onion rings, and four sodas — for approximately $34. It's cut into 4 wedges, so you can grab just a slice, and it's being marketed as the kind of centerpiece that's perfect for your holiday meal (hence the photographs with Christmas flourishes of mistletoe).

Although you can't get this burger in the U.S., the BK Whopper Bar in Times Square serves up a more traditional pizza burger topped with marinara and pesto sauce as well as pepperoni packaged in a take-out pizza box. Or you can make your own 9-inch beef burger at home, just be sure to have a snow-shovel sized spatula on hand to flip it.

What do you think? Do you want Burger King to introduce the Japanese version of the pizza burger in the U.S.? Let us know!
